Previews have started for the first two episodes, so its as good a time as any to put up the episode spoiler threads. For now, the first two episodes will be unlocked, and the rest will be when the series releases.
THE RULES
Do not talk about future episodes in the threads. IE, don't talk about Episode 4 in the Episode 3 thread, but you can talk about 1, 2, and 3 in the 3 thread.
First off just want to say the DLC as a whole was fun. glad I finally got around to it (I rage quit during the atonaton DLC due to constant bugs a while back).
But my god they could not have written Kasumi worse.
She RESOLUTELY believes herself to be a synth and the option to convince her otherwise is not only ignored but it's placed in the right position which is normally the aggresive/asshole option.
She just laughs in your face at the very idea despite having no actual proof, a voice over the radio just convinced her she was a synth and we're not even given the option to convince her otherwise. This is rather annoying as the entire reason we're here is she ran away thinking she's a synth and the ONLY option we're given is to convince her to go home and "pretend she's their daughter".
This isn't a solution, she's going to live the rest of her life beliving she's living in a fake home!
As a whole it feels like the writers barely tried to give her a character and only cared about Far harbor itself, she was purely a plot device and nothing more. Which is fine but it's just REALLY annoying having to babysit this girl as she goes on and on about her life being a lie.
Meanwhile Captain Avery is ACTUALLY a replacement and after a short identity crisis takes the whole thing like a champ as she focuses on Far Harbor.
P.S. and just in case anyone is wondering despite the game and even Wiki trying to act like wether she's a synth or not in ambigous ... it's absolutely confirmed. If you side with the Institute they outright say she's not one of theirs and they've never replaced anyone named Kasumi. They DO say other's have used their tech (which was clearly the devs trying to keep the answer uncertain) but ... that's absolute bullshit. DiMA obviously didn't do it and the only other possability is some mysterious shadow Organization with Insitatute level tech replaced some random girl in the middle of nowhere and left he with absolutely NOTHING to do until she got bored and had an identitty crisis because she's more like her grandfather than her parents (which happens plenty of times).
There is no damn way any Organization with enough recources and caution to steal Institute tech and NOT get caught would do something like replace a random girl and then just ... not maintain her at all. If her family AT LEAST lived in diamond city or Far Harbor then you could reason she was part of a greater plan to slowly replace the residents by either the insitute or DiMA ... but she's not, they're in the middle of damn nowhere.
Again I like the DLC but ... I was almost ready to try shooting her at one point because she just WOULD NOT listen.
what mechanic from Fallout New Vegas/3 should have been in Fallout 4, No questions asked...
I go first: weapon durability and fixing it by jury rigging them
